Volume 4 Chapter 95

I wrapped myself in a soft type of magical power.
This was to keep my body safe.
My defense power was fixed to 10 points, so punching the target with my full force could injure my fist.
Come to think of it, I don’t remember feeling pain that much ever since I was reincarnated to this world, so I don’t know how it feels like to experience it.
Alright, the problem starts here.

The target that looked battered.
Most probably, a large number of challengers attempted to destroy it.
The target’s surface was tattered, but it was still firmly standing there.
I expected it to have a very sturdy build.
However, if we wanted to enter the royal capital, then I had to destroy it.
I had to somehow annihilate it using a high-powered attack.
Since my physical attack power was fixed at 10 points, the only way I could increase the power of my physical attacks, such as punching and kicking, was to rely on magic.
There is body-strengthening magic, such as (Physical Up), which increases the physical attack power, and (Speed Up), which increases the speed of attacks.

They use a set amount of mana and are a type of magic in which one’s stats may be easily boosted by chanting spells.
Body-strengthening magic uses less than 10 points if it’s used to exclusively strengthen one part of the body, such as the arm or the feet, so even I can use it.
I can use it.
However, because of the curse that fixes my status, even if I use body-strengthening magic, I can not raise my stats.
In other words, it’s pointless for me to use body-strengthening magic.
I realized it soon after I reincarnated, and I was a little bit let down because of this.
I wanted to try strengthening my fist and breaking a massive boulder, or boosting my speed and running at a pace I’d never experienced before in my previous world.
Since I transferred to another world, I figured I might as well do things I could not do in my previous world.
And so, I did not give up.
Through trial and error, I discovered something.
When mana is compressed into a high-density mass, it takes on a physical form.

In addition, depending on how it was compressed, the hardness could be adjusted..
And the mana of the solidified mana can be manipulated by one’s will, just like the original mana before its compression.
It has become easier since I discovered that.
I watched all the movies where Ir*nman appeared, so I was able to imagine it easily.
And in this world, almost anything that can be imagined can be recreated with mana.
I used my mana to create a power suit.
It would assist my body’s movements and compensate for my power and speed.
It can perform attacks that I, with a physical attack power of 10, could never do.
I call this powered suit ‘Mai’. (Magical suit)
By the way, if I infused this magical suit that’s made out of pure magical power with elemental magic, such as fire and water. It will further enhance its abilities.
If I applied the fire attribute, I can create an armor of fire that excels in both attack and defense.
If I use lightning and wind attributes, it will transform into a magical suit that allows me to move at lightning speed.
However, if I do that, the crystal balls will probably react, so I will stop here.
If it’s just the normal magic suit, it won’t be noticeable for those who don’t have magical vision since it is transparent and colorless.
I was told that I would only have one chance, so just in case, I should make my magical suit as thick as possible for attack.
I wore the hard attack magic suit over the soft defense magic suit.
By relying on the magic suit, I can launch powerful attacks, but it will be meaningless if I can’t destroy the target. Therefore, I decided to go all out.
Let’s execute the “how to throw a strong punch” I had watched on Y*utube and practiced without any particular reason.
Probably, there are also a lot of guys out there who practiced punches just like me.
…There are, right?
I stood in front of the target, opened my legs about shoulder width apart, and took a half step back with my dominant leg.
I was in a half-body stance, with only my face facing the target straight ahead.
I exhaled deeply.
I relaxed and slightly clenched my fist.
I slightly raised the heel of my back foot and flexed my knee.
I checked the condition of the magic suit.
High-density mana was spreading all over my body.
Alright, let’s do this.
I pushed on the ground, then using the toes of my rear leg as axis, I turned my heel outwards while turning my knees inward, similar to being pigeon-toed, and then I also rotated my hips.
Along with the rotation of my hips, I also rotated my shoulders, and I projected my fist as if pushing my right arm forward.
I then transferred the mana in my entire body and focused it on my fist.
I used my front foot as a brake, placed my entire body weight and mana on my fist, then—
「Hah!」
I punched the target.
Bam!
The target I hit flew away, scattering fragments everywhere.
Unfortunately, it was not enough to blow it out of the training center.
It would have been better if I had given it a little more time…
Well, at least I smashed it, so I guess it’s fine.
「Wha— Eh! Huh!?」
I turned around, and found the dog beastman with his mouth wide open and a shocked expression on his face.
「So Haruto’s physical attacks are powerful,… Well, it’s no longer a surprise really」
Merdie sounded a little dismissive.
I wanted her to be a little bit more surprised than that.
I did my best, after all.
「What’s wrong!? What happened!? Wait! The Unbeatable Target was knocked down!?」
The deer beastman from the checkpoint came over.

There was a loud crashing sound, so he came to check on us.

He then saw the target I had smashed and was also shocked.
Yes, that’s the reaction I wanted to see.
「D-Did you do this?」
「Yeah, the test was to destroy the target, right? And so I did.」
「Did you use magic? Hey, how did you do that!?」
The deer beastman pressed the dog beastman for an answer.
「I’ve never seen any signs of magic being used. And I just checked, and the magic detection crystal didn’t record even the slightest magic wave」
Whoa, that’s a relief.
Apparently, those magic detecting crystal balls do not react to normal magic suits.
「So, can we enter the capital now?」
「A-ah— No, yes. You may now enter without any problems. You knocked down the Unbeatable Target, after all」
The deer beastman became polite all of a sudden.
「From here on, you are now guests of Vestier. Please let us know if you have any requests」
「Anything? Then, I want to enter the capital with this girl」
Merdie attacks powerfully by strengthening her body with magic.
However, magic was forbidden in this target destruction test.
Of course, even without magic, Merdie is plenty strong.
However, I doubt that she’d be able to destroy the target without using magic. So, if they were to grant my request, then I would like them to let me enter the capital with her.
「I understand. This way, please」
And just like this, the deer beastman escorted us, and we safely entered the capital.
